Hi guys,

I started long time ago a project to build an airliner, around 1.8m wingspan, 2m long. I decided back in the day to learn about composites and have been playing around with resin infusion and vacuum bagging, using PLA-printed moulds.

Now, I find myself in the point where I need to start cutting the wood that will keep the shape of the plane. I'm lost 100% but motivated :D. I read about balsa, ply, ply composite, birch... what should I use? I know an answer might be difficult, but is there some proper tutorials to start with? Any help is more than welcome.
